NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 43 - Another one bites the dust

RandomSil wrote:Curious to get some thoughts on my two options.

Option 1: Friend + Isaako -> Ponga & Cheapie (Farnworth)

Biggest issue I have with this trade is that I lose a borderline keeper in Friend. The biggest positive being I have $197k left over to go towards my HLFs which need quite a bit of attention. This does mean if Tedesco is ruled out I only play 16 this week.


Option 2: Isaako + Paix -> Nofo & Nuffie (Niu) -

The biggest negative this week, is if I bring in Nofoaluma, I won't look to get Ponga this year most likely as I will have Tedesco, Nofo, and Pap with my HLFs needing to be adressed. It also leaves me with a measly $10k left This gives me $10k change, but means even if Tedesco doesn't play i have 17 this week. While also keeping Friend in my squad as well.

Really appreciate thoughts.

Edit: Could also say fuck it get Lomax and pencil him in as cover and a long term 17th/18th man instead of Nofo

I could trade Luai to someone but then I have no halves cover, is that an issue?

I am running with 0 halves cover. Although I have Drinkwater playing WFB and 3 x WFB on my bench/EMG

I may just hold Luai another week hope he busts out a 40 with a try and hope he eeks out a few more dollars.

I may just look at a Paix to Averillo trade to get some cash generation going.

Who do we think is the better choice, Averillo or Talau?

I’m thinking maybe I’ll flip a coin

Is Thompson a walk in starter for the dogs and if so, will he be a good scorer you guys reckon?

He's not an urgent trade by any means with a ~25 BE.

If you can afford to hold him another week, always good to give yourself a chance at jagging a decent score and eeking a few more $ out.

I have doubts over Averillo's job security although I think he'll score okay.  

If Meaney is a late inclusion, does Reimis Smith move to CTR and is it Holland or Averillo who makes way? I'd assume Holland but that's a risk that could go sideways.

I spoke to a couple of Dogs fans and they think Averillo is a shining light in their attack and has to stay in.

Talau’s hammy is a concern,

Yep, Bulldogs fans on the Kennel think Averillo is the bees knees too.

Love the two different opinions.

Yeah a big score from him makes things interesting. But keeping him means I have to go Niu instead of Talau.

Option A gives me JTurbo, Luai, Niu
Option B gives me JTurbo, Talau, Paix

Writing it like that I guess I have to go with A and hope for some big scores. Money generation needs to be sustained
